When should I run a naming study?

  • Launching a new product or feature: Before introducing a new product or feature to the market, conduct a naming study to find a name that effectively communicates its value proposition, differentiates it from competitors, and resonates with your target audience.
    ‍
  • Change in competitive landscape: With technology advancing and new features rolling, there might be new terms to be coined that best represents your product or feature offerings.
    ‍
  • Rebranding: If your company is undergoing a rebranding initiative or refreshing its brand identity, a naming study can help identify a new brand name or evaluate potential changes to existing brand names to ensure they align with the updated brand positioning and values.
    ‍
  • Testing existing names for perception: Even if you already have a name in place, it's beneficial to run naming studies to assess how well the name resonates with the target audience, whether it accurately reflects the brand or product, and if any adjustments are needed to maintain relevance over time.
    ‍
  • Expanding into new markets or user segment: When expanding into new markets or geographic regions, consider conducting a naming study to ensure that the chosen name is culturally appropriate, linguistically sound, and relevant to the target audience in those markets.
